“Whoever originated the cliche that money is the root of all evil knew hardly anything about the nature of evil and very little about human beings.”

I'm thinking that Hoffer meant to say “the evil of nature!”

God tells us that “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.”

I’m confident that he knows what he is talking about.

The quote is ‘love of money...’ not money...’ and it’s from Scripture. I’m sure God knows all there is to know about both human beings and the nature of evil. Eric Hoffer, on the other hand has much to learn.
